The National Monuments Service's description

On flat pasture 18m N of the townland boundary with Castlelloyd. The enclosure is within the field system (LI024-222----) and 100m ESE of enclosure (LI024-211----). The enclosure is not depicted on OSi historic maps, but is visible as a sub-rectangular earthwork on the OSi orthoimage taken 2005-12 and on the Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 21 AP 4/3621) as a sub-rectangular enclosure (ext. dims. c. 32m N-S; 29m E-S). The site is bisected by a later relic field boundary that cuts through the site on a NW-SE axis. The enclosure shares the orientation of the field system (LI024-222----). The enclosure is visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018.
